That is the regular body...I was looking for the larger, wide body version.

The larger, widebody version you are referring to is called the U121CXSPW which is basically the best-selling U122CX that's an inch shorter, an inch wider, and is the non-US or "international" sized bag. They like them shorter and wider in Europe, we like them taller and narrower in the US. "International" is more like a square, "Domestic" is the traditional upright rectangle.

Anything larger from B&R in this 'square' look is not a carry-on but a checked bag. Your memory mixed-up "international" with "domestic". B&R only makes an international widebody. All domestic carry-on's can't be a widebody or they aren't domestic. The U121CXSPW is what you want or you want another brand.

Apparently BR has a panic attack in their product design department every time the airlines shrink their posted carry-on limits, apparently ignorant that not every airline has such strict limits, and keeps turning out smaller and smaller carry-on bags that are becoming less and less useful.

If you want a bag that fits to roll down the aisle on any 737, 757, 777, 767, A300 you don't want anything wider than the U122CX which is 14" wide, 15" if you count the protruding side handle and a luggage tag, a typical configuration. When I take 777's, my U122CX just barely makes it down the aisle, I can hear my luggage tag scraping against the business class lie-flat seats as I walk by.

The reason that B&R discontinued your "much larger bag" is because not only might it be challenged by a gate agent but it would have to be carried down the aisle of the typical jet. Check your bag, you'll have no problem, get what you want. But I'd take the advise of Briggs & Riley if I were you and get a narrower bag.

Not to take this OT, but what is the appeal of a wide-body bag?
I havent bought a new B&R yet, because the one I want only come as wide-body bags.
